The 6th Edition of the Surf and Turf Dinner Raised a Total of $106,778.24 in Net Proceed<\/strong><\/strong>s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6th edition of the Surf and Turf Dinner took place on Thursday, May 22, at the Centre culturel et communautaire Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-De Blainville. The event raised $100,788.37 in net proceeds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening, co-chaired by Christine Beaudette<\/strong>, Mayor of Boisbriand, and Julie Boivin<\/strong>, Mayor of Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, was a resounding success. All funds raised will be used to purchase modern medical equipment for the H\u00f4pital de Saint-Eustache, helping to enhance local healthcare for residents of the Lower Laurentians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented by Desjardins<\/strong>, the event brought together representatives from the business, political, and local sectors. To make the fundraising more engaging, the co-chairs challenged attendees to raise an additional $3,000, with a promise to dress as sumo wrestlers if they succeeded. They did: raising a total of $3,776.75!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre Mayer<\/strong>, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the FHSE and instigator of the event in 2018, was pleased to host the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Surf and Turf Dinner is an annual event that holds special meaning for me. Witnessing a full house and such enthusiastic support for our healthcare is truly inspiring. I appreciate everyone\u2019s dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
